Misconception
Dear Laura,
Do you know that night when you stayed with me?
When we had time to reach for each other,
without the urgency of the clock?
That night-
I drank your breath
I held you while my passion swallowed yours
You thought I was inside you, oh no-
I pulled you deep inside my core. While our skin burned
I was throwing away my heart, my bones,
I was throwing away my brains, dissolving my tissue.
I was flushing my blood to the floor.
Ripping away my muscles.
Becoming an open shell.
Then-
I cradled you inside of me.
I filled myself with you..
How else could I get you so close?
How else could I have gotten so close?
I put your heart in place of mine.
I stole your being.
And you thought we were just making love.
